ABA insurance & Medicaid coverage in Texas

Texas families have several ways to fund ABA therapy. The state's Medicaid program, STAR Kids, covers ABA for eligible children with autism. Additionally, Texas has an autism insurance mandate that requires many private health plans to cover ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism. This includes large employer plans, small employer plans, and individual plans sold in Texas.

If you have commercial insurance through an employer or the Marketplace, your plan likely covers ABA under the state mandate. For those with Medicaid, STAR Kids offers comprehensive ABA coverage. Our team can help you understand your benefits and find providers near you in Tarrant County.

What to look for in an ABA provider

Reputable providers in Tarrant County will conduct a thorough assessment before starting therapy and adjust goals regularly.

Also check that the provider accepts your insurance, has experience with your child's age group, and offers convenient session times.
